As we continue to grapple with the overwhelming aspects of an international pandemic, people across our nation have taken to the streets with peaceful, but impactful demonstrations to demand change surrounding systemic racism and its devastating effects. Historical and ongoing traumas experienced by Black people and other people of color intensify the impact of physical and behavioral health disparities in care that permeate throughout our health care system.
Together, we must work to forge solutions that will build a future that promotes healing and resilience in our practice, for our staff and for the communities we serve.
Join us on Wednesday July 1 from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. ET for “A Call to Action: Addressing Historical and Ending Contemporary Racial Inequities,” a webinar exploring social justice, racial inequality and systematic change. Linda Henderson-Smith, Ph.D., LPC, the National Council’s director of children and trauma-informed services, will lead us through strategies for applying a trauma-informed resiliency-oriented lens to recognize and break down the barriers of racial inequities.
